Jack Draper has really surprised me, to be honest I never heard of him before but he’s done so well to advance to the semi finals.

He faces a real test now though against Sinner to reach a first Grand Slam Final. I fear he will lose in the semi finals, maybe it’s just one step too far.

despite the obvious difference between the two players in terms of ranking and notoriety, there is a good match today between Draper and Sinner.... The Italian player won the first two sets not without some issues and also suffering a break point in the first set.
at this point the match seams easy for Sinner.

Well what ever about Djokovic, Alcaraz' defeat at the hands of van de Zandschulp
in the second round definitely people lost money on that one should  not have happened.
And back to Djokovic, losing in the third round but he is coming to the end of his career.

I did say earlier this year that he wouldnt win another GS but after taking Gold in the
olympics I was re-thinking that!

At this stage the deserved number 1 Sinner has been the most consistent this
season, even if he doesnt win the GS.

You could observe the same at the US Open for Djokovic and Alcaraz. Nobody would have thought that these two guys have to leave the tournament that early. Now Pegula is still the no. 6 in the world, so it is not that big of a shame. But of course Swiatek was the huge favorite in that game. But as soon as these underdogs fight back, even the no. 1s can get nervous and this is what happened. I found it surprising that it was in two plain sets. I think that's even more surprising than the defeat itself. If it was a 3-set game where it was close until the very end, well ok. But this way was quite strange given the great shape that Swiatek was in.
Am guessing it's because of the recently concluded Olympics fatigue that affected them in a negative way excluding Djokovic obviously. Alcaraz didn't even look like he was giving it his all in his match in my opinion.

On the other hand, Swiatek lost composure completely and her frustrations were visible when she hit the net. Interesting turn of events.

Yes and at the end of the day if every game was easily predictable, it wouldn't be that much fun to follow the sport at all. But what strikes me as odd here is that there was not just one surprise, but Alcaraz and Djokovic so early and seriously, fatigue on that level barely plays a role. Alcaraz just turned 21. Fatigue can't be the reason for his failure at the US Open, losing 0-3!!! He won 10 games in the whole match, that is outrageously bad for him.

The Olympics can't be the reason as they are four weeks ago and they played the Cincinnati Masters where he also got demolished in the round of 16. Very uncommon. We are talking about the two Wimbledon finalists here! Cheesy

Iga Swiatek had been undefeated for a while and her straight set defeat against Jessica Pegula has been surprising. Jessica too is a good player but we are not used to see Swiatek being defeated.
Iga's arch rival Aryna Sabalenka had made it to the semis. She did reached the US open finals last year too but was defeated by American Coco Gauff in the finals. This time she's playing against another American Emma Navaro in the semis and possibly Jessica Pegula in the finals. Personally, I'd love to see Aryna Sabalenka win.

I could be wrong but I feel like this isn't a rare event when a great player goes undefeated for a long time and then loses a game that really nobody expected that player to lose.

Hot damn! Alcaraz, Djokovic and Swiatek out before the finals? This is why it's getting tougher and tougher to bet on Tennis these days. Set betting seems better than match winner to me currently.

Anyway, as some posters above mentioned, I am expecting Sinner and Sabalenka to win their respective matches going forward unless more upsets happen.

Betting on straight winners in Tennis has definitely become very difficult
arguably since the "Big 3" are no longer big! Betting on games or sets is a
better option when available.

Iga Swiatek had been undefeated for a while and her straight set defeat against Jessica Pegula has been surprising. Jessica too is a good player but we are not used to see Swiatek being defeated.

Sabalenka is a very popular player on and off the court, I think a lot of people
will like to see her win this title.

It arguably offers a change to make decent profits....if you can predict when the top
players are going to be beaten!

Tennis is one of the most unpredictable sport with in current Grand Slam we are having too many big upsets and things are still going interesting because we are having two Americans in semifinals even Sabalenka is had good time for win third Grand Slam of his career but due to surprises any result can happen.



Sinner is impressive and having good win against his rival Medvedev which is clearly indicating now no one can stop him from winning second title of 2024 after having win in Australian Open 23 years old now ready for having long time hold on top rank with his amazing skills and good quality in game.

Well there we are now, Swiatek is out at the hands of Pegula. I rarely make any bets
whatsoever on the WTA, it is too unpredictable. We could say now that Sabalenka
is the probable title winner, but could quite easily lose that.

On the mens side Sinner has kept his win rate over Medvedev by winning again
in 4 sets. He plays Draper next which we expect him to win again.
WTA is always having interesting upsets as now Swiatek is out and things are pretty clear for the Sabalenka to win, but both Americans are also doing good job, and we can expect them into final as well with Sabalenka is also quality player but as WTA is always brought surprises things can go either way.

Sinner is impressive against arch rival Medvedev and won his match in just four sets with no potential player against him so now it's clear US Open is going to his way, and he is now having good chance of staying at the top after end of top three era in last year.

Draper is the good player but need more time for having any potential upset at the top level in any Grand Slam outside England.

On the womens side its looking like Swiatek could take this title, although Sabalenk is still in
the mix too. Muchova is playing really well and faced Haddad Maia next after beating Paolini.
Tennis is never been easy to predict specially while you are talking about WTA even there is no doubt about Swiatek will be winner because she is playing impressive and having good time on court with Sabalenka is also doing good for having win in this last Grand Slam event of the year most chances we will be having Swiatek vs Sabalenka into final.

Medvedev has been impressive against Borges... ok there is a difference between the "value" of the two players but the Russian was play very strong and aggresive... Now he has to face Sinner. During the last 5 matches on this surface he has always lost!
Medvedev is great player but usually against big players he played nervous and lost his confidence which bring some problems for him after the exit of Djokovic and Alcaraz I was expecting him into final against Sinner but these both are facing each other into quarterfinal with on papers most chances from this match winner we will be having winner of this year's final as well because these are best in current situation no other can give them challenge in last round matches while things are interesting for winning a big event.

So three Americans made it through during yesterday's matches in the US Open:
Emma Navarro sent Paula Badosa home early with a 6-2, 7-5 embarrassment where Badosa was leading 1-5 then a complete collapse in the second set.
Taylor Fritz put away Alexander Zverev in a rather quick fourth set match.
Frances Tiafoe beat Grigor Dimitrov after he retired from their match later in the fourth set.

The rest of the quarter-finals should be great to watch but bad to bet on with Sinner taking on Medvedev and Draper going up against Alex de Minaur.

Sinner is looking very good so far and will face Medvedev next after beating Paul in 3 sets
with 2 tie breaks. I think Medvedev in the quarter final will be a tought task than Paul was.
Medvedev's favourite surface is hard court and has won this tournament already beating
Djokovic. Sinner is still favourite though at 1.36.

Sinner vs Paul
World number one Jannik Sinner has been flawless so far at the 2024 US Open. After losing his first set of the tournament, the Italian star has turned his matches into a formality and will now face host country powerhouse Tommy Paul. Having beaten Paul twice in their three previous matches, Sinner is close to the result here. Given his sharpness on both serve and return, he has a chance to win without dropping a set again.

Things are getting day by day interesting as we are heading for the last rounds of the US open many big names are losing their games and having early exit now in men we are having Sinner, Zverev and Medvedev these can do good for having spot into final with most chances we will be having Sinner at the top with his impressive quality.

In women's we are having early exit for the Gauff as things are going not favourable for her and she is losing at the important stage in big events now we are having Swiatek, Paolini and Navarro for the top spots with most chances Swiatek is going to be champion because she is doing impressive job in early rounds and looking solid for the win another big event which could be challenge for the second favourite Sabalenka.

That was a great run by Dan Evans to get to the third round. de Minaur will be happy
to move to the round of 16. All eyes are on making the final especially now that Djokovic
and Alcaraz have already been beaten. Medvedev especially and Zverev who is just
playing Nakashima will fancy his chances.

On the womens side its Swiatek looking strong.as is Badosa and surprisingly
Haddad Maia and my hopeful Paolini.

Daniel Evans had a really rough match yesterday with Alex Alex de Minaur having issues with his fitness in question at the end of the second set.
He had to have a medical timeout while right in the middle of game:

After treatment he was certainly questionable to continue as he had both sets bageled:

With that win he is the first Australian in 20 years to make it to 4th round of the U.S Open with shots like this one you can see why he made it on to the quarter-finals:
